Hi Vicki, how are you? Long time. Just to update you I now have a new date for my surgery, 30th Nov. I do hope you're alright, and that you're just busy. Do get intouch.

I am fine.I just got back from my checkup.Need to increase my fluids and protein intake.Have to get off the junk.
I suppose I really only come on the site to see how you are going.With time you find that you don't need the support of others so much.I certainly did at first.Now I just feel normal and what concerns I have are all due to eating poorly and I don't need support to stop doing that.I just need to get my own act together-plus I don't really have any problems.It truly is the most easiest op.Really truly.Hard to believe when it sounds so major.I would prefer to have it again than to go to the dentist!!!

Hi Vicki

If I don't laugh I'd be bound to cry. lol Yeah like you I don't pay much attention to the asthma thing, I mean I don't pander to it. I've had it all my life and try not to let it affect me. I was hospitalised twice in 2004 - asthma attacks, both times, I was a smoker then, needless to say i've given up. What the doctor did say was that he'd give me a call next week - that was last Sunday so I guess he means this week coming. I'm trying to keep my eye on the ball, I will not be defeated. How are you by the way, I'm always looking out for you on here, not seeing you much. Busy? Anyway, as usual I'll keep you up dated. Take care.

Hi Vicki,

I was sent home after they assess me at the hospital. I had my bed and even unpacked. They said there was wheezing on my chest and some drug thinning meds that i'm taking, I needed to stop taking it at least 2 weeks before surgery. Go figure. Is this meant to be, I begin to wonder myself.

Being admitted at 4pm today. Lets hope all is well with the chest. Thanks people.

wonderful! I will look and comment!

Happy Easter!!

Hi Vicki,
Just got home from hospital .. 10 days post op. Complications due to anesthesia ... was not much fun so am a little worn at the edges. I hope I did the right thing.
I hope your surgery went well and that you are feeling great.
Take care

Thought about you on your surgery day, and left a few notes around for you every day since. We are anxious to hear about it, Vicki. Welcome to the Losers Bench!
